The Orioles melodic spell refers to a unique and innovative style of vocal harmony that emerged in the 1950s. It originated in Baltimore, Maryland and can be classified under the genre of doo-wop. Led by Sonny Til, the Orioles were known for their smooth and soulful harmonies that captivated audiences across the United States. Their melodic spell was characterized by intricate vocal arrangements, with each member of the group contributing distinct harmonies to create a rich and layered sound. The Orioles’ melodic spell brought a new level of artistry to doo-wop music and influenced many future vocal groups. Their impact can still be felt in the music of today, making them an important part of music history.
It’s Tragic To Take That Chance
Besides running out of patience at these attempts at courting pop acceptance and presumed respectability of the mainstream music market, we’re also running out of new ways to try and describe this ongoing folly.
Just when The Orioles should ve been reaching their commercial peak with a string of big hits to their credit they continually undercut their appeal by forsaking their core audience in search of one who would never give them the time of day no matter how much they pandered to them. Preservation Maryland is Maryland s first and largest organization dedicated to preserving the state s historic buildings, neighborhoods, landscapes, and archaeological sites.

Preservation Maryland
On the 161st anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single day in American history, we’re featuring a few of Antietam’s untold stories and unique layers of history. Follow along with Preservation Maryland’s President and CEO Nicholas Redding as he visits the battlefield, located in Sharpsburg, Maryland.
Central to the ability to tell this story is preservation, which is one of the primary reasons that Preservation Maryland launched its own battlefield preservation program aimed at helping to preserve, rehabilitate, and interpret some of the state’s most iconic places — and to make certain that the stories told are comprehensive and inclusive of their long histories.

The Origin of the “Old Line State”
In 1776, American independence was anything but certain. Maryland troops under General Washington fought a pitched battle that may have saved the entire army and earned the state its nickname; The Old Line State. On August 27, 1776, the British Army, under the command of General William Howe launched the first major assault since the Americans had declared their independence on July 4, 1776.

Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death: 1816 and the Year Without a Summer
The old joke, oft repeated, about the mercurial climate of Maryland is that if you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes. While the official start to the summer of 2023 has been unseasonably cool, it doesn’t come close to the below-normal temperatures of 1816, or what was then called, “The Year Without a Summer.”
